Light trails from traffic passing through the junction at the end of Dundee Street, where the famous local pub Diggers is located (you can see it in the centre right of the image, the long wall next to the path in the foreground is the wall of Dalry Cemetery)

Paper scan - unfortunately I trusted the scan program in producing a sensible resolution which it didn't....
created for: Surrealart challenge " Robossance "
Based on 'The Creation of Adam' by Michelangelo Buonarroti
Unfortunately removed from the comp by the admin Jaci XIII due to her apparent religious intolerance and discrimination. "
JaciXIII's email:
"Hi jormit1
I'm glad that you have resolved to participate in our current challenge in Surrealart Group.
But your picture, with the painting of Michelangelo showing the creation of Adam by God the Father, deserves some repairs. As for the picture of Adam, that is fine, but the representation of God the Father Creator, as a robot is succeptible to an interpretation of disrespect to our faith. I ask you not to be offended, but I have to watch over the harmony of the group. If you cut only Adam's photo, you'll be great for the challenge.
Kind regards.
Jaci XIII"
I declined to censor the image, as the image was created totally within the brief given by jaci XIII, and I was somewhat affronted by her apparent assertion that there was only one religion followed universally.
" Hi Jaci XIII,
I'm a bit unsure how to respond to your email.
I've read & re-read the brief given for the comp, and believe I've followed the brief correctly, ie 'you will have to choose a work of art from the Renaissance, it may be painting or sculpture, but it will have to be from this period, and merge with robot parts, to give this surreal appearance'.
I cannot find any reference to excluding particular images, or parts of images, from the Renaissance period.
If you feel the image is so offensive, then I guess it's your prerogative to remove it. Personally, I would like to think that people would see art for art's sake, and not censor on the basis of personal whims or beliefs.
It would probably be an idea to make sure restrictions based on your faith are entered into the brief
Cheers,
Tim"
jaci XIII removed/censored my image, and posted a somewhat incoherent rant on her Surealart site www.flickr.com/groups/2676496@N21/discuss/72157694521457564/.
I have subsequently resigned from jaci XIII's "Surealart" group in disgust, and have posted the image in multiple groups to gauge how sensible people would view it (personally, I see nothing wrong with it, and certainly meant no offense when creating it, and have had nil negative feedback - apart from the aforementioned histrionic and offensive diatribe from jaci XIII).
The only (many) responses have been positive.
I have been extremely saddened & distressed by jaci XIII's actions.
I can't help but feel that such intolerance and discrimination has been bolstered by Trump's residency in the White House

Yesterday was a bit of a stormy summer day here. Between showers, hail and wind I managed to pop across the road and tried to capture some of the day.
A daily occurance in old Ellicott City is always the awesome sights of these freight trains coming through town.
Watching the world pass by
As I keep you in my mind.
Leading me to sleep
And the dreams that lay inside.
On the last day of Coronation Special runs on the Piccadilly Line on the bank holiday Monday, the LT Museums preserved 1938 Stock runs into Ruislip Station past the disused but preserved signal box. We'd gone into Uxbridge to do some shopping for a forthcoming holiday so we timed our shopping trip to catch the '38 stock coming and going on a couple of runs into the station through the day. I got this shot on our way back home, reaching Ruislip station just in time to see it approaching.
GWR Pannier Tank 6412 waits for us to pass in the loop at Staverton. We'd passed this train earlier at the same spot on our way to Totnes Riverside, but with the exception of a few people on board it was running empty. What looked like an observation saloon was on the rear so perhaps it was a private run for someone or something?
Ex-GWR locomotives 7812 Erlestoke Manor and 4566 pass at Bewdley North Signal Box, with the signalman waiting to take the token from the driver of the tank engine.
Taken a couple of years ago, both locos are now out of service. 7812 - owned by the Erlestoke Manor Fund - is at Tyseley for overhaul and should be back in service in 2-3 years. 4566, owned by the SVR has been placed in the Engine House where it will most likely wait for a decade or more before it reaches the top of the overhaul queue again.

A cliché shot no less, but when your presented with a scene of calm like this, it's hard not to go for the classic composition.

Autumn
As much as I am out and about I am very fortunate to not have had to deal with anything too tragic. That being said, this morning I saw a man die. I saw the paramedics working on him and call it. The weight of Monday morning is a real thing and some of our souls cannot bear the weight. My best friend died on a Monday morning some years ago. I have seen this man around from time to time and he has problems that often leave him drunk on the streets. I am not even sure why I am sharing this, but I do now that it affected me more than I thought and as hard as I try to put it aside, the thoughts of he and his life keep permeating mine. It makes me think about the fragile life we all have and how it can change so fast, be it with "problems" or not.
I did not take a picture of the scene and I am not the type of photographer who is interested in the subject matter such as this...its too personal for me and lingers for far too long after (although I do have great respect for what others can do that I can not). Saying that, I also did turn and click the shutter once as I passed (not sure why) and this is all there was of it. An impression of the scene. Like the one left on me.
